What kind of digital camera do you use?

[WelshWitchPMD]

I have a friend who is looking for her first digital camera. She does not want an SLR or something that is too big. I am also looking for a better camera that is not too big for concert photos.

I was wondering what kind of camera do you use and what if any do you use for concert photos?

I"ve got a Nikon Coolpix. Small enought to sneak into any concert! I love that camera!

What model number is it? Do you have a concert picture that you took with it that you could post?

I have a 3100. Here's a website review.

Those photos came out nice. They must be from the Chicago show, right? Where did you sit for that show?

I have a Pentax S4 that took good photos for the front row Fleetwood Mac shows but not so great for the 4th row Stevie Vegas shows.

Mine is a Nikon Coolpix 3200 which I got as a Christmas present to myself last year. I did use it at a Stevie/Don concert, but I was too far away & the pictures were kind of dark. I took video clips of a couple of songs, too. Here's a concert that I used it & I was a little closer. It was at a Blues Festival in Atlantic City, NJ. Yeah, I like it because it is small & you can sneak it in concerts.

My Fujifilm Finepix A205 is my BFF.

Here are some of the pictures I've taken at concerts with it...

I had some great ones from when I saw the James Gang, but can't find them at the moment. I love that camera, though. It does it's job.

OMG, Kate, I love the U2 pics. I saw them 10/17/05 in Philly, but I was in the nosebleed section. Lucky you, you were really close! :nod:

Thank you :]. My ticket was scanned and all the sudden, they let me into the ellipse. I died a bit. I was so happy. They're just amazing in concert. Siiigh. <3

8th row center. I was with Lisa. She used to frequent Nancy's board, but not sure if she still does. I believe I saw you, but didnt' meet you. You were front row, right?

Thanks. Those are my faves from that show!

I was second row. I did not have my digital yet and my 35mm was too big so I did not get any photos.

My friend ended up getting the Kodak Z730 tonight. One of the stores here has it for a good price and I think that I might pick one too up later this week.
